Protein in urine

[barneyferdie]

Hi,
I have been diagnosed type 2 for two years in that time I have have lost seven stone and changed my lifestyle.
Last week I saw my diabetic nurse and she was very pleased as I keep a tight control over my weight now, and my Blood Glucose. But for the first time I had to send a urine test away, which I assume was to test for protien. Anyhow today I had a call to see the GP, but I am away at the moment, so they said it was not urgent, but I am waiting for a phone consulatation.
If it turns out there is protien in my urine, what will they decide to do. Will I have to take more medication and can keeping the blood glucose low, along with low blood pressure help me, if I do have a problem.

Re: Protien in urine

Hi, and welcome to the best Diabetes forum in the world. I am bumping up your thread so that some one who knows about consequences of having proteins in urine may come along and see your enquiry.

I'm not sure what would happen if Protein is showing up but I just had a thought and , depending on how you have changed your diet, it may be that you are showing some Ketones rather than Protein in your Urine. If this is the case then there would only be a problem if your Blood Glucose was high.

Re: Protien in urine

You can have protein from a infection there are lots of different reasons for protein so worth asking your gp or nurse what they sent it away to test for. Hopefully it's just something simple so you don't gave to worry.
